Geospatial Technologies for Building Resilience: ISEPEI's 2023 Summer Workshop Concludes in Budapest!

August 3, 2023

Last week the latest ISEPEI workshop on Geospatial Technologies successfully concluded. This year, we celebrated the 10th anniversary of the ISEPEI workshop series and the second year of running such events under the GeoHub project, a joint initiative of the Central European University (CEU), American University of Central Asia (AUCA), and Bard College, organized within the 

Commencement of ISEPEI's 2023 Summer Workshop: Exploring Geospatial Technologies for Building Resilience!

July 23, 2023

For the tenth season, ISEPEI is organizing a summer workshop on the promotion of the application of geospatial technologies and remote sensing in various environmental domains. 2023’s in-person course on "Geospatial Technologies for Achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) - Building Resilience", under the auspice of the CEU Summer University program, is all set to kick off on July 24th, 2023 in Budapest! This year the course offers a dynamic set of exciting lectures and practical exercises which will wrap up on July 28th. 

CEU’s picturesque campus grounds in Budapest are all ready to host a diverse group of participants - governmental officials, UN officers and consultants, as well as students, faculty, researchers, and young professionals representing an array of backgrounds and regions in the world. Priority has been given to the participants from the OSUN member institutions and GeoHUB Project partners. This year, there we will be welcoming many participants from UN organizations, including UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), UN Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA), UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), UN World Food Programme (WFP), as well as various national governmental agencies, research institutions, and so on.

Geospatial technologies and remote sensing play a vital role in monitoring SDGs and fostering urban and rural resilience. Despite their immense potential, there exists a gap between these technologies and environmental decision-makers. To bridge this divide, this workshop is being held to educate and train policy-makers, practitioners, and young professionals in evidence-based decision-making, enabling better-informed choices for a sustainable future and resilient communities.

This workshop focuses on leveraging geospatial technologies to enhance community resilience against disasters and climate change. Keynote speakers will provide theoretical insights and practical examples, followed by hands-on sessions to apply these technologies effectively. 

This year the workshop’s faculty includes prominent experts from renowned organizations such as, FAO, UNDRR, UNIDO, UNOOSA, WorldBank / GEF, European Commission’s Joint Research Center, European Space Agency (ESA), Yamaguchi University, American University of Central Asia (AUCA), Babes-Bolyai University, Esri, Google, Tracasa Instrumental, among others.
